Is Your Website Neglected Due to Lack of Time?
You are not alone. Most small business owners and contractors are busy running their business with little time to fuss with WordPress updates, theme updates, or plugin updates. And these days, it seems there are updates several times a week. Sure, you can set auto-updates on your site, but if your theme, plugins, PHP version is incompatible – your site can crash.
Keeping Your Website Secure
Many updates are security-related patches that block potential vulnerabilities. If left unpatched, your site is vulnerable to hackers that can wreak havoc on your site, which in turn can cause your site to run slow and lead to poor search engine performance – that means you lose out on potential business.
You Don’t Need to Hire a Full-time Webmaster
Big companies can afford to hire a full-time web admin to manage their website, but that is an expense most small business owners can’t justify, given the average earnings of full-time webmasters is $56,000 a year.

FACT: YOUR OUTDATED WEBSITE CAN DESTROY YOUR SEO EFFORTS
Search Engines Do Not Promote Corrupted or Vulnerable Websites
Popular browsers and search engines warn users to avoid sites that are not secure. A hacked or corrupted website can do significant damage to your website’s reputation and SEO ranking you may have spent years developing.
Depending on the condition of your site, it can take several days to restore a hacked website depending on a variety of factors. Restoring your website ranking among search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo could take months.
Your website is often the first impression customers have of your company. If it is running slow, displaying errors, or flagged as corrupt, that is the first impression you are giving prospective new customers. You don’t have to risk your reputation. We offer affordable programs designed to protect your site from such occurrences.
If you rely on your website to generate business opportunities, it is critically important to keep your website updated and secure. A corrupt website can cause you to lose business.
I HAVEN’T UPDATED MY SITE IN YEARS AND IT LOOKS FINE, WHY BOTHER?
Even when a website looks fine, there can be problems deep inside the code. You and your site visitors cannot see these vulnerabilities, but most browsers and search engines can.
Outdated, stagnant websites are the preferred targets for hackers from all around the globe. There is a lot of damage that can be done in the back-end code that can potentially put your site visitors at risk. And yes, even if you don’t sell anything online, your site can be corrupted with hidden code.
I INSTALLED SSL A FEW YEARS BACK. THAT SHOULD TAKE CARE OF IT, RIGHT?
A website secured by SSL encryption is an important step to keeping your site secure, but it is just one defensive measure among many required to protect your site and keep it up to date.
I HAVE A BUSINESS TO RUN, I JUST DON’T HAVE TIME TO DEAL WITH ALL THIS WEBSITE STUFF!
We get it! Because that is how all of our customers felt before working with us. They don’t have time to mess with website maintenance or don’t feel knowledgeable enough to do what is necessary. So they hire us to help minimize the risk and improve their online performance.
